HOUSTON, [TX]—At 6-foot-3 inches tall and 300 pounds, Chad Ray Folmsbee looks every bit like his street name, Polar Bear. So loyal to the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, one of the state's most powerful criminal gangs, he named his daughter, Aryan Princess. In U.S. District Court on Friday, federal agents contended that Folmsbee,28, is a Houston lieutenant of the white-supremacy gang, riding herd over meetings, collecting dues, and tracking who is to be "smashed on sight" for breaking rules. His arrest for illegally possessing firearms is the latest in a 30-month probe of the prison-born gang across Texas. View More>>

PHOENIX, [AZ]—Neo-Nazi Jeffery Harbin of Apache Junction will receive up to five years in prison after pleading guilty in federal court yesterday to making and transporting bombs.
